It was on the 29 March 2003 that the National Trust opened John Lennon's old childhood home, Mendips, to the public. He lived at the house with his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George. 'Mendips' was bought by John's widower Yoko Ono Lennon in 2002 who immediately donated it to the Trust.

The house, close to John's childhood haunt 'Strawberry Field', had been updated although the National Trust have restored it to the way it was in the 1950's when he lived there. Even his bedroom where he spent hours playing his guitar has been recreated.
